Peter Straub, Master of the Supernatural, Dies
"On a lark he submitted the novel, Marriages, to a London publisher, who accepted it immediately. He was unhappy with the quality, and much happier with a short run of poetry books he published with a small British press. Neither prose nor verse made him much money, though, and in desperation he turned to writing about the supernatural instead."

What Sparks Poetry:
Rob Schlegel on Michele Glazer's fretwork
"In an explanation of the process the multidisciplinary artist Saul Melman uses in his Anthropocene Series (featured on the cover of fretwork) Glazer writes, 'The artist sets a process in motion, but the materials have the last word.' It's a deeply instructive metaphor for how Glazer allies with language to create poems that feel and sound as though she is tapping into a frequency just beyond herself." |
